UDP 34297 and 34397

I've tried hosting with no luck, but I don't know what I'm doing

lol. I've re-configured my firewalls in windows and NAV and used those ports etc etc but still no luck, why does technology have to be so bloody fiddly!?!?!?!?!

After more time trying to host a game I still havent got anywhere. Anyone got any tips? Giz what did you find the problem was?

I get the following message when host testing:

UDP Timed out
Incoming TCP Connection failed
Could not determin that status of your connection

I have disabled NAV firewalls and Windows firewalls, and opened the ports 34447, 34297 TCP and 34397, 34297 UDP on my D-Link DSL-302G modem/router.....still no luck.

You haven't got Peer Guardian or a similar program running at the same time do you?

Not that I know of. I think it's a problem with the modem rather than software. But it's really an unknown territory for me.

what sort of modem /router do you have?

Enforcer-J · Post by **Enforcer-J** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 11:52 pm

D-Link
DSL-302G

LOL i just re read the thread. You did mention a DSL 302G earlier

anyway, Im not going to be much help, other than the fact that I have just got a dedicated server running myself. I am far from being techno savvy.

Is that what you are trying to do? A dedicated server?

my first tip would be to - as a test - enable the DMZ - which should override any other settings and open up the system to the net (eg unprotected, no security) and see if that works. If it doesnt, then its not your router, it must be another setting somewhere else in your setup.

No real purpose I'm just interested in how it all works, it would be nice to have the option to use it though and could come in handy on a few occasions. I'll try and bypass the router completely and see if I can narrow it down atleaset. Thanks.
